This is your Garden

This is your garden... for classes, for quiet reflection, for learning new gardening skills, for celebrated programming like Flower Piano or simply to enjoy nature's beauty.

Whatever way you experience the Garden, it is yours, to cherish and support. The Garden depends on the generosity of people like you. Private gift support - memberships and donations - is essential to covering nearly one-half of the Garden's annual operating expense. With your engagement, investment, and support, we can help secure the Garden now and for future generations. Below are the many ways you can make a difference.

Join today or renew your Membership, and be invited to Member Garden Parties, enjoy unlimited admission with guest privileges, receive special discounts at plant sales and programs, and many other benefits.

San Francisco Botanical Garden has served our community for more than three quarters of a century, and we are dedicated to fulfilling our important mission for the benefit of generations to come. This commitment is supported each year by many thoughtful and forward-thinking individuals who give through their estates. Solidify your legacy and consider the Botanical Garden in your Estate Planning.

Inspire and grow your team while fulfilling your philanthropic goals by joining companies such as Adobe, PG&E, and Kaiser Permanente in supporting the Garden. Through Corporate Engagement, support this sanctuary of natural beauty and tranquility dedicated to educating children and adults, cultivating community, and displaying and preserving the planet's biodiversity.

Foundations play a significant role in ensuring that San Francisco Botanical Garden remains a beautiful oasis as well as an important educational resource for future generations. San Francisco Botanical Garden Society welcomes the opportunity to establish new partnerships with the foundation community.

Lead school groups as a Children's Walk Guide, engage with visitors as a Docent, or drop in and get your hands dirty weeding, planting and pruning as a member of the Green Team - there are a multitude of ways to support the Garden through volunteering.

San Francisco Botanical Garden's beauty and value as a major cultural resource are the result of a successful public/private partnership between San Francisco Botanical Garden Society and the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department.
